Synopsis
The Season has finally arrived, filled with the magnificent balls, scandalous gossip, and clandestine romances that every lord and lady in good society has come to expect. But far within the walls of lavish estates and in the dark corners of the city lies a world that the aristocracy dares not touch, with rules and risks that glamour cannot overpower. Yet true love has no boundaries, and heiresses and street thieves alike must use their savvy and strength to create new beginnings and happily-ever-afters. Sometimes luck is enough, but every once in a while, a touch of magic may be needed.
Deliciously alluring, these thirteen historical romances from a talented array of YA authors will make even the most cynical heart swoon.

From Booklist
These romantic tales take place amid the manners and drama of the Victorian era. A strong collection, the stories complement each other, evoking many aspects of an era in which being “all right” meant “married.” The young women here chafe at and rebel against this concept or muddle through it while gaining a newfound understanding of their options and potential. The most compelling tales feature girls masquerading as men to achieve what they could not as women, in either their personal or professional lives. Others employ magic and fey as a way to break free from a proscribed future. The complex period language is used to uneven effect across the collection; in some pieces, an overly mannered style allows a slow simmer; while in others, the prose struggles to engage the reader. Most of the authors, however, do let their voices shine through to create compelling narratives. Older teens and adults looking for historical romance in short form will enjoy this look at love and independence in the age of restraint. Grades 9-12. --Heather Booth
